Bronze Member Username: RestlesstimesWashington , DC United States Post Number: 14 Registered: Mar-06 | Martin Logan Mosaic. I went in and listened to the Totem Sttaf's again. It was a very VERY impressive speaker and I enjoyed it but while impressed I wasn't blown away. Then I listend to the Martin Logan Montage and immediately I liked it better than the Sttaf. The bass was tighter and the female vocalist just sounded warmer and more lifelike. Since I liked the Montage so much, he put on the Mosaic and I was BLOWN AWAY. BUT, I can not find one review of these speakers anywhere, why is that? |

Bronze Member Username: RestlesstimesWashington , DC United States Post Number: 15 Registered: Mar-06 | I guess because I am not familiar with these types of drivers. I would like to know the pros and cons. stuff like that. |

New member Username: BasicaudioChula vista, Ca US Post Number: 9 Registered: Mar-06 | I believe they were reviewed by audioreview, stereophile but not sure about absolute sound. You just need to GOOGLE it under loudspeaker reviews for that model. I don't know any major martin logan model not reviewed. You can also try www.audiogon.com on their forums since that's an auctioning/swap meet high end site. there's others who own the MOSAIC. If you are blown away by them, i wonder how much more you would be blown away with the STATEMENT e2 their flagship? martin logans are an excellent electrostatic company. Their rival is SOUNDLAB and QUAD and a few other notables! |

Bronze Member Username: BasicaudioChula vista, Ca US Post Number: 17 Registered: Mar-06 | i'm envious of TK'S purchase, always wanted to get martin logans, way outside my pocketbooks for now ...guess what, i saw in an online store somewhere the average bose lifestyle system is $4k...do you know what kind of used martin logan you can get for that? ok bose bashing again! what a joke. bose do make good target practice for a .22 caliber, that's about the kind of bass it makes. |

Silver Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 831 Registered: Feb-05 | the mosaic basically sounds like a maggie with nuts in the bass, which I love :-) Take a maggie MMG and give it bass. Quick, tight, meaningful bass that is correct in pitch to the panels the woofer is mated with. Not the sloppy bass that lets you hear "panel... woofer." The mosaic sings with one voice. The drivers are manufactured by BG corp (neo series planars). What the speakers lack is the loose driver intergration that plagues some of the ML designs that even I have admitted to, such as the aeon i. The mosaic is a warm, smooth, mellow sounding speaker that can throw an amazing image in the right setup. And, it can play LOUD, surprising from a small hybrid planar speaker. Art, if you are a planar person, I would be curious to hear your take on the mosaic because of the planar technology used in the speaker -vs- the usual ML stat panels. |

Silver Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 832 Registered: Feb-05 | TK, I don't think the mosaic has ever been professionaly reviewed. I take some reviews with a grain of salt sometimes because they contradict each other, such as the reviews on the MartinLogan montage in AVrevolution and stereophile. AVrev said the bass response was outstanding, both deep and tight, whihe stereophile said the bass response was all over the place, causing resonance in the cabinet and I believe lacking tightness. I typed that on the fly so I paraphrased, but you get the gist. reviews are not a substiture for your own ears. |
